Having long legs doesn't make you exempt from deadlifting, but it does require a departure from what may be presented as correct positioning by literature produced by those who've spend no time in actual coaching settings and couldn't pick up a pencil from the floor soundly, let alone a loaded barbell. Long legs will demand that the hips be higher in the starting position. Attempting to lower the hips in order to increase the back angle as is often said to be 'correct' will result in the hips be...

The false grip on the rings serves two common purposes: one, it shortens the lever of the arms slightly; and two, it prepares for the transition of the athlete from under to over the rings, as we see in the muscle-up. Place the hands in the position in which you would want them for a ring dip and then lower the arms to find the basic false grip position—it will not be comfortable and it will likely take some time to develop the strength to maintain it....

To help increase muscle mass gain, try adding some supplemental branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) before, during and after training. Dosages range between 0.10 and 0.20 grams/pound of bodyweight. Powder can be mixed in water or added to supplemental protein. MRM makes a great product, BCAA + G, which includes glutamine, for a reasonable price....

The 1-arm overhead dumbbell or kettlebell squat should be performed with the torso both upright and oriented forward. If you want to rotate and lean forward, do windmills instead. By rotating and leaning in the overhead squat, you greatly reduce the demand for hip and shoulder flexibility, consequently defeating one of the primary purposes of the movement.
